I'll have to try those.

Mostly I play the voogru.com servers, fast respawn if they're open. They're one of the few 24/7 servers that are actually near full 24/7.

PPP is full of faggots.

10/24/2007 12:25:59 PM

Its from last week, but if you haven't seen this guys reviews hes fucking great.

10/24/2007 2:18:11 PM

^^I don't play on PPP, I play on Mu and Atlantis.

10/24/2007 2:49:01 PM

still, ppp is full of faggots.

games goons are the worst.

10/24/2007 2:53:52 PM

I'm not denying that PPP is full of faggots. That's why I stay off of that server. Mu, Atlantis, and Lemuria are all run by Zoolooman on the forums and he's a great admin. We keep the faggotry to a minimum.

10/24/2007 2:55:04 PM

^how's that possible? Do you just log in once in a while or something?


^^^^hahahaha funniest review ever.

PPP is awesome because TF2 isn't always serious business.

BTW Mu, Atlantis, and Lemuria are fun too.

Who are you guys?

sounds like someone can't do headshots well enough.....

10/26/2007 9:12:22 AM

yea, 1 shot 1 kill sniping requires a headshot for probably half the classes...however body shots seem to have a damn good chance at taking out snipers, scouts, and spies

played on a custom map server last night that had a TF2 rats map - brought back good memories of CS rats maps, but it turned into a huge sniper fest

10/26/2007 11:15:49 AM

besides the fact that sniping is soooooo boring and that I have no idea why people do it 100% of the time...

most snipers (most, not all, ex: phase 3 of dustbowl defending when you need a ton of snipers to pick people off turning the corner) are basically lone wolves who have no idea of teamwork and completely shit on a team. it's also frustrating to see spies who aren't doing shit like taking SGs out. that's why I appreciate a good server with lots of communication and teamwork

**package2 thanks for that directx 8 tip.. my friend has a laptop and had the same problem

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 12:08 PM. Reason : .]

10/26/2007 12:02:49 PM

yeah, i only play as a sniper on rare occasions. did play a custom CTF map where being a sniper was actually a huge tide turner for our team. think i went something like 32-6 with 25 headshots in a round and was able to basically shut down their heavy/medic combos.

but i also think a key to sniping is having support around you. for example, on that map, I had a turret and dispenser around the corner from me, so when shit got close, i was able to fall back and let the close-quarters guys handle business. I also often go pyro on the last flag of a pure defense map and cover our snipers from the inevitable spies while still be able to get to the CP for defense

i'll leave a server if i see more than two snipers on 2fort

10/26/2007 12:15:27 PM

yes, snipers and engineers/dispensers/sentry guns should work in tandem as circling points that progress up the map on stuff like well or grannery, even dustbowl and gravelpit as you gain more ground. They are very effective back there...but I can't stand then they are just trying to get kills without objective in mind.

10/26/2007 12:23:55 PM

i play sniper when im bored or if i can kill sg's with it.

10/26/2007 12:25:18 PM

2fort is absolutely boring as shit at some points and yeah, a lot of it has to do with ppl just wanting to snipe

either that or 4 engineers on each team so there's almost no way to capture

it's a damn good thing they made it so that you don't bleed if you're shot as a spy because otherwise 2fort would become a completely worthless map

10/26/2007 12:28:29 PM

God, you and your goons need to take on us from shacknews. I'm telling you man, those shack servers have some severely good players. They play 24/7...I'm sure goons are good too.

10/26/2007 12:29:18 PM

^Damn right we are.

Snipers can be incredibly effective at removing medics and heavies from a push, effectively neutering it. I'm sorry if you play with shitty snipers.

[Edited on October 26, 2007 at 1:39 PM. Reason : Smack talking.]

10/26/2007 1:38:09 PM

^that may be true, you're still playing far away like a pussy and spend most of your time looking around for something to shoot... but hey, it's your money

10/26/2007 2:32:04 PM

look, snipers are all well and good, but if I'm on blu on dustbowl and I see two or three snipers when we need to apply good pressure to get to a control point, it's usually a waste of space (unless the red team has retards who put their turrets in the wide open)

10/26/2007 2:54:31 PM

I was trying to find good turret placements on a map, and I was wondering if there was anyway to turn a turrets default scan area around?

10/26/2007 5:10:20 PM

after it's built? nah. They do shoot 360 degrees, but you are right they only scan one direction. my suggestion would be to destroy it and use the metal to build another facing the right way.

10/26/2007 5:13:44 PM

^yes. don't forget you can right click while using the toolbox to rotate w/e you are buiding

10/26/2007 5:23:45 PM

what is the best way for a spy to take out a turret that is being babysat by an engineer? obviously it's to sap then stab and hope you lined it up that it's a one-stab kill... I was wondering if you should go invisible for a little a while so that engineer dicks around trying to kill you instead of trying to fix his sg.. just kind of a lot of timing you have to master, I guess

10/26/2007 5:41:12 PM

^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-qD30EOO-o might help you out some, there's an anti-sentry section in the middleish

I've also had good success just spamming the sapper...sometimes the engineer can't keep up and it explodes.

This is basically guaranteed to work if you alternate the spam between the turret and dispenser (assuming they're standing at one)... and provided they don't take the time to wrench you twice.

10/27/2007 3:31:45 AM

If there is one engineer and he is too retarded to kill you, sapper spamming will ALWAYS kill the turret because it guarantees damage.

10/27/2007 11:50:07 AM

so

i run EXACTLY the system requirements, but want to get this game

would it handle it

10/27/2007 3:44:36 PM

Would help if you posted the exact specs, but in general, PC games aren't what I would consider playable at the minimal system requirements. Unless you're willing to play at a really low resolution with everything turned to low.

10/27/2007 4:11:34 PM

lol I ran civ IV on my 1.6 ghz 64meg laptop video card and it worked.. this was below minimum reqs

but yeah it's what you're willing to put up with and my laptop overheated like a biotch (slows the computer down which is a pain)

I honestly think this is the most fun FPS gaming experience I've had since Battlefield: Vietnam. Back in the day, we used to absolutely own at that game when we got a few people on TS. This weekend I think I played with no less than 5 people on my friends list on a team, all on TS. I can count on one hand the number of tiems we lost in hours of playing.

And I unlocked "with friends like these" when we had 11 of 12 people on a team on TS and in my friends list. Now all the achievements are done for me (and I want more!).

Jumped into my first server this weekend. I had a great time trading rockets back and forth. The 2fort map puts the bases a little too close for my liking, but it is great having so much activity back and forth.

I am not sure how to add other players, is it by steam login? Mine is eltownse, but when I was playing it showed me as etownsend.
